How To Fix gom: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu gom is provided by gom package.

gom is:

gom is a command line mixer utility with optional built-in ncurses interactive interface.

Its main feature is an exhaustive command line interface that makes it ideal for scripting (e.g. for audio recording, running at user and/or system login time, setting/restoring of settings, etc).

It supports OSS only, so if you want to use it with ALSA, you will need its OSS-compatible modules. If you want to use all possible features of ALSA however, you would need to use a mixer program dedicated for ALSA.

To fix this problem, we can install more using the command below.

sudo apt-get -y install gom

This command might take some time to finish depending on your machine internet connection.

You can also use apt command to install gom.

sudo apt -y install gom

sudo aptitude install gom
